SheIl Mnrl.

Mr.. r.. T. Moore. agent for the Singer
Sewing Machine Company has left with
us fine specimen of shell mari taken
from Lothian. /" the farm of Mrs. Mamie
Hall, of the first district Of this county:
1t is a perfect conglomerate OF shells and
earth, 1--WE presume of highly phosphat-
ic characterl and proves the fact that al
one time the spot was covered with water
as the shells are all of the character OF sea
shells. We apprehend when the Drum
Point r II. is completed some enterpris-
ing manufactures of fertilizers will be
examining into its merits with view to
its use as q fertilizer.

The County Commissioners Board was
Ia session to-day and examined into and
passed a number of accounts. and trans
acted the routine business of the Board.
A number Of persons was before the
Board with claims. and for certificates on
the Treasurer, who as usual on Commits
sioners' day, was kept busy.
Sheriff Sellman appeared before the
Board and ask ed them their desires re-
garding the Curtis Bav Rowdies. The
Commissioners expressed their entire sat
isfaction with the Sheriff's course in the
matter before putting the county TO the
expense that would be necessarily entail
ed. They claim that the gamblers and
rowdies assembled at Curtis Bay are Bal
timore roughs and that they are only
doing harm TO each other. That the b
& o. r. II. can get as many deputies from
Sheriff Sellman as they will pay for. who
will be fully empowered todo any act that
the Sheriff himself could do, and If the
thing is to be broken up, that it is the
place of the B. & o. to bear the expense,
and not that of Anne Arundel county.
We will be able 10 see now whether the
Baltimore people are so anxious to sup
press crime, as to spend any money on 1t.

A FISH STORY.
The Experience or a Fishing Party
Tn the Severn.

On Saturday afternoon there was lit
tie party who determined TO spend Sunday
fishing and TO this end they hired boat
and laid In supplies. These supplies con-
sisted Of some coffee and some whiskey-
some sugar and some beer-s0me bacon
with which 10 fry the fish and some more
whiskey-some bread and some beer
some cigars and some more whiskey-
some salt and pepper and some beer; a
frying pan and some whiskey- some
matches and some beer-some peelers Tor
bait and some wbiskey-some hooks and
lines and some beer Well, after having
gone up the river little way and having
given the wet goods several trials, they
concluded they would smoke. The cigars
were handed around and then the match
es for lights. On trying the matches II
was discovered that the caterer, on the
score of economy had hooked them from
the counter of the Maryland Hotel, and
that they would not light except on the
box In their indignation at this, they
took another nip at the wet goods 10
soothe their ruffied tempers, and these
tempers ruffied so often that they had 10
keep on soothing them. Arriving at a
good anchorage they put cut their iines
and began to have very good sport. After
tuCI A6u W uAohN @ AANN
supper they determined to go ashore and
have fry, and on their arrival, to their
disgust, they found that their dog had
eaten all OF their fat meat-(a case of the
fats being in the dog and not in the fire)
-one of the party went off to country
house and got chunk of fire that enabled
them to fix their camp for the night. This
being done, they had recourse to the wet
goods again. They made pot of coffee
and cooked come of their fish by wrap
ping them in wet paper and cooking them
in the ashes They went back to the boat
to get the bread and found that had be-
come very wet. However, they made the
best of it and ate wet bread, steamed fish
and drank coffee and other wet goods.
Laying down TO sleep the mosquitoes
serenaded them and kept up such a con-
cert that they could only catch cat-naps
One fellow who had tried good deal of
the wet goods during the night, declared
he heard a wild cat, so they had to place
a guard around the camp for security. In
the morning they were all so much under
the influence of wet goods that they were
in for anything, so they made a raid on a
melon patch near by and were well pep
pered with bird shot by the old farmer
who owned the place. They rushed to
their boat, when 10, and behold 1t had
gotten loose from its moorings. In this
case they had to foot it to Annapolis, and
they declare their troubles were all due to
carrying fat meat instead of lard, and
matches that would only light on the box
In which they came, that were taken from
the Maryland Hotel counter. They are
sadder, sober and wiser men now, and
say they know how to do the next time
they 60 fishing. Their expense account
has not been made up yet, but they say if
il had not been for the wet goods they
would have spent great deal of money
for nothing.

Tm Stafford Agricultural society had an adjourned meeting on Tuesday. A commit tes appointed to look up the financial condi- 6on of the society failed to appear with their report 90 that nothing of consequence could be done. It is understood that the society is to be some $500 behind on this years fair. More than this amount probably is represent cd in new buildings and improvements on the ground, but large part of this would have been made up from the earnings of this year's fair had not the unexpected absence of the treasurer thrown the management into new and inexperienced hands. The society lost both by failure to get revenue that belonged to it and by paying doubtful claims that had to be passed upon during the progress of the fair. The society's grounds are mortgaged for eS, 900, and the society will probably have 6 floating debt of not far from $4, 900, con- Histing largely of claims that must be met at once. It was suggested at the meeting that a stock association be formed to assume the property and conduct the affairs of the socie sy. E. O. Dennis, Julius Converse, Gardiner Hall, Ohas. Fox, E. 0. Pinney and Jamel Mclaughlin were chosen committee to bring forward some plan of resolving the society into 8 stock association. The meeting ther adjourned, subject to call.

The defic- iency, which vas seven million dollars two years ago, has been reduced three-sevenths, and whatever excess there may be at the end of the present fiscal year in the cash expenditures over the receipts will, in General Vilas's opinion, be much less than the postage upon the mail matter of the government itself, estimated to be at least two million dollars annually.
